Homework & Announcement:
Due to the shortened week coming up (Team/Spirit Day on Thursday and Spring Break begins on Friday), we will postpone beginning Word Wisdom Unit 6 Part 3. However, I originally announced to students that they would have that opportunity to earn 10 additional assessment points and 10 additional homework points for quarter 3 by completing U6P3. In exchange, I will offer 5 bonus points to students who complete U6P3 pages 150-155 (early) by Wednesday, March 27th.
